The show takes a giant leap forward on show #210 as the guys welcome their first live phone calls ever on the show. First up is show fave Steve Brewer, discussing a recent potential career breakthrough and congratulating Joel on purchasing a new phone. Later, it’s a full Oscar recap with Corey and Joel’s pick-the-winner contest revealed, the full suckdom of Hugh Jackman discussed, and why foreigners always make for good comedy. Plus, a secret second caller is pissed about the Oscars, high school crime gets ridiculous, and Jocks vs Geeks – it never ends – even when you’re 96.

After a truncated show #208, the guys return with the longest show ever. You could call it the longest winded show ever, too, as Corey and Joel pick every Oscar winner for 2009. That’s right, you get to hear some “Best Sound Mixing” prognostication on this show. Aren’t you glad podcasts are free? Speaking of podcasts, it’s trip back to 2005, as the guys revisit some of their favorite (and least favorite) podcasters to see how they’re doing in 2009. Seems some are still hanging around, some have done well, and others have vanished into the ether. Hear why Corey and Joel’s predictions of podcasting’s future were pretty much dead-on, why podcasting has both succeeded and failed and why Air Ferg still isn’t funny. Actually, there’s no answer for the last one – sorry, Ferg. And wrap the whole thing up with another pointless political discussion and you get the longest show ever. Enjoy if you can.

There was a plan for this week’s show, but that will have to wait. Pressed for time, the guys delve into some of the weeks big news items, like the Sports Illustrated Swimsuit issue. Joel feels cover model Bar Rafaeli is overrated and offers his own suggestion for the cover. Has the modern media landscape give the ever-horny Joel a callous to hot chicks? Were the past cover girls that hot, or is there just too many of these mags around now. Will Corey stop reading the McRib article to care? Listen and find out. Also, Joel get insulted on Comedy Central and loves it, Corey takes in Friday the 13th and hates it, and play along with our new game “What Looks Italian?”. Joel = no, Corey’s shirt = yes.

Every few years Hollywood decides 3-D is poised for a comeback, and touts a “new, better” version of the technology, which has been seen by most as a gimmick. After viewing this years Super Bowl commercials, and a 3-D episode of Chuck on NBC, Corey and Joel are here to say that the technology is back and as bad as ever. Not that there hasn’t been fun 3-D stuff lately (like Beowulf), but from the “where to get the glasses” snafu to an inability to properly ogle the hot blonde from Chuck with the glasses on, this experience was pretty painful. Just as painful were the results of one hosts Super Bowl Bets. While not a complete blowout, one host is swearing off the betting line in the future and you’ll hear why. Also, the full Super Sunday commercial rundown, someone hates Springsteen, Nils sings Mickey Avalon and Superman Returns still sucks. Right click here to download – 80 minutes, 38 megs
